Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesBedding too hot.
Our family of four found Fosstun Guest House just right for a simple, cozy night in Skogar. It’s very clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is sufficient to cook or bake and coffee and tea are provided. It feels like staying in a mother-in-law apartment. The bathroom was surprisingly delightful. It’s small but the space is perfectly used, there is a heated towel bar, and the shower is big for the size of the bathroom. The hostess is sweet and available for questions when you have any. Bonus: view of loads of Icelandic sheep from the kitchen window!

ItalyThe toilet is really small and so is the kitchen. Not a problem if you share the place with friends (we were a group of 4, so we had the place all to ourselves). The front door doesn't close, but there aren't many people around so it's completely safe, plus you can lock your bedrooms.
A warm place where to rest after a long day exploring. Everything was clean and the bedrooms spacious. You can see Skogafoss directly from the property, amazing view! Inga and her husband live in the apartment nextdoor and are both really kind.

very close to Skogafoss with a fish n chips van just next door. Inga was very accommodating. changed our leaking kettle immediately and got a new set of knives for us. She also went through the trouble of finding our earphones which we left behind by accident and making sure it was sent to Reykjavik before our flight

We called before we arrived and the lady came out to great us . It was basically a 2 bedroom apartment for the three of us. She even brought over some puzzles for our daughter to play with. Fully equipped kitchen though we didn't get to use it as there was no supermarket nearby.

SingaporeThe kitchen and equipment are not so clean, but we managed to wash and clean by ourselves. There is no key to lock the main door although the keys are available for the both bedrooms.
The location is near to the place of interest. And the price is reasonable.
